Hi Greg, It doesn't work for me taht way. I followed another approach in my makefile (master).
I redeclared TARGET in the makefile individaully for both the subdir. but before that I did "MAKEOVERRIDES = ". And things worked for me.

Try quoting it this way: cd $(SUBDIR_2) && $(MAKE) TARGET='$(BASE)' Does that work? _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
